Frugality Creating Beauty: How Scrap Quilts Developed

Scrap quilts are called a variety of different names, each a thread connected to quilters years ago who first used this pattern.

Called a “charm” quilt in the late 19th century, young women collected hundreds of different fabrics from their family and friends. Perhaps if they collected 999 different squares, their true love would bring them the thousandth–and their happily-ever-after dream, too. One quilting blogger speculates that collecting these fabrics may have given girls opportunities to ask their love interest for a contribution!

The scrap quilt has also been called a “beggar” quilt, referring to quilters asking each other for contributions to their projects. Trying to put together a bedspread without repeating every fabric, they also called the quilts “odd feller” quilts–every piece was an odd feller. Some families recall their mother repeating one square, however, so that a child sick in bed might be entertained looking for the matching patches.

Still another name scrap quilts went by is the “postage stamp” quilt, so called because quilters would use their tiniest scraps, sometimes no bigger than a postage stamp. Perhaps the original motivation was not wasting the smallest piece (historians recall the scarcity of the Great Depression in this), but it also became a challenge at some point. Quilters would collect thousands of pieces to compete with each other in making stitched masterpieces.

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

The term handmade is commonly made use of to define crafts produced by an artisan in contrast to a factory. Since it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is distinct. Not all the sewing in a hand-made quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter makes use of mechanical tools to develop his craftsmanship, our seamstresses make use of numerous tools to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her items with a rotating blade knife as well as sew them together on the sewing machine. The quilter collaborates with merely thimble, thread, and needle to quilt numerous little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time as well as talent to create a thing distinctively for you.
